E G#13
Well I'm ridin' along
A13 E Gm7 F#m7
Singin' the same ol' cowboy song
E
That's been sung a hundred times before
G13
Ain't got nothin' but my name
A13 E Gm7
And I'm the only man I know to blame
F#m7 B9 E
But I'm livin' I'm happy and I'm free
F#m7
Just listen to the wind blow
G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
Let it blow let it blow
E
Sand over my trail
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/marshall_tucker_band/desert_skies_tab.html ]
F#m7
I got my saddle on the ground
G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
And that ol' moon he can still be found
B7
Hidin' in the desert sky
E
I like simple things in life
G#13
Like a prairie breeze
A13 E Gm7 F#m7
A good stout horse between my knees
E
Just bein' alone just bein' me
And when I die let me die
G#13
With a dream in my mind
A13 E Gm7
A smile on my face and no trouble behind
F#m7
And no cross on my grave
B9 E
To show my restin' place
F#m7
So I can listen to the wind blow
G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
Let it blow let it blow
E
Sand over my trail
F#m7
I got my saddle on the ground
G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
And that ol' moon he can still be found
B7
Hidin' in the desert sky
F#m7 B9
Won't you bury me with my chaps on
E F#m7
And my six-gun strapped to my side
F#m7
So I can watch the moon a-hidin'
B9 E
In the desert sky
F#m7 B9 E
Hidin' in the desert sky
F#m7 B9 E
Hidin' in the desert sky
F#m7 B9 G6/9 F#6/9 F6/9 (E6/9)
Hidin' in the desert sky
